Amherst (Mass.)

View of the first incarnation of the Amherst House. It was previously known as the Boltwood Tavern. The establishment was sold in 1838 and the building was enlarged and the name changed to the Amherst House. There were community dinners held in the dining rooms here at times. This view shows a number of guests standing on the balcony. The building was destroyed by fire on July 4, 1879.
